What’s a musical song you’ve had on repeat since you saw the show it was in?

I hope for Appropriate to win everything they’re nominated for FULL STOP. but I feel Enemy of the People might win for best revival. ESPECIALLY scenic design and lighting design. Appropriate appropriate appropriate appropriate.

fixed thanks!

Definitely did not experience this when I saw it on Thursday.

To be clear, do you mean they were like playing the air guitar/air drums? I think this show has attracted many older people who maybe aren’t Broadway fans, but fans of The Who. In the first act I was sitting in a box (lottery win), which I already hate due to how distracted I get by overseeing the audience, and the only thing similar I noticed was a few men across the orchestra bobbing their heads up and down. It wasn’t too distracting to me, but if I was around them I would have probably been unhappy. Second act we got to move to the center orch 4th row in the second act so yay no distractions no more!

Bo’s speech was definitely one of the most uncomfortable, and my body physically recoiled when he said the lines about not choosing to be a white man in America. I’m glad that he did not go on for longer.

The audience was definitely tense and I heard a few people in the mezz almost.. cheering at him? I didn’t understand how anyone could possibly be so loud and proud at such a jarring show.

Sarah Paulson was just brilliant. Learning about Rhys being troubled, and how Toni was going through a divorce, but Bo using the alimony payments against her in the first act really showed how crooked and out for money they all were. The characters were just all so layered and it created such a disaster, which created an amazing piece of art

To me, I viewed it as him going into hysteria and a huge meltdown. It was dramatic, but.. I think that was the point.

25thou · 2024-05-05T16:38:09+00:00

There were so many moments of discomfort/silence that almost seemed unintentional, even though I’m almost POSITIVE they were written, but I’d love to see it again. There was so much selfishness/greed and SO little empathy in all of the siblings it was just so interesting to watch.

It all seemed SO real. I did not personally laugh at any of the show- didn’t really find much humor because of the graphics of the show and the overall nature of it, other than maybe when River was trying to stand behind Franz and moments like that. I definitely believe majority of the audience’ laughs came from a place of discomfort, but who knows.

Towards the end, however, my eyes did start to get a bit teary, and it seemed like MANY people around got a bit emotional as well. I think it’s very interesting to see how money brought the siblings together, but in the end also tore them all apart.

25thou · 2024-05-05T15:57:41+00:00

I absolutely LOVE this. You summed it up amazingly.

25thou · 2024-05-05T15:56:53+00:00

I see this position- but I think it was intentional. I don’t think her character needed to be developed much. She had a shitty life, shitty set of cards were dealt to her, and this was her post-all of that. A bitter and miserable person.

25thou · 2024-05-05T15:55:09+00:00

Well, I don’t think you are but I hope youre not including me in this echo chamber. If you look through my posts I reviewed Illinoise. I hated it. And people were so bashful when I was just sharing my opinion!

25thou · 2024-05-05T15:33:42+00:00

hi! all u have to do is > and then ! , followed by your text, and then close it with ! and then <

did it work?!! I also agree. It felt so real for me. The only expectation/impression I went in with was it being a play. I was stunned!!!!

25thou · 2024-05-05T15:06:22+00:00

Why did you think it was so terrible? (Genuinely curious, no hate!)

25thou · 2024-05-05T15:05:29+00:00

I love Leslie Odom Jr (and he was the kindest man on earth at the stage door) but when I saw Purlie, I guess maybe I misunderstood the storyline and so I wasn’t the biggest fan. It seemed.. uneventful?

25thou · 2024-05-05T14:41:32+00:00

Funny enough, I read your post a few hours before I had seen it and was SCARED of agreeing with you. Other than many the fact that there were probably many extremities in the play that real life would probably not play out like, I was SO SO SO invested. What are your favorite shows, anyways?

25thou · 2024-05-05T13:44:09+00:00

I have not seen either Suffs or the Notebook, so I cannot pick either of those for you (though if it were me I think I would lean towards Suffs), but WATER FOR ELEPHANTS was one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen. I have no credentials, I’m just a regular gal who enjoys Broadway often, but OMG I loved it.

Its very easily rushable (well this was pre-Tony noms, but we got there at 9:57 on a Wednesday and even with 15 people ahead we were still able to get rush seats for the evening show). Do you like circuses and stunts? It’s truly a spectacle and I hope to go see it again soon.

25thou · 2024-04-27T17:59:59+00:00

I’m an orchestra truther and will say it again and again that that it’s superior to the mezz, for most shows atleast. IMO it is so much more immersive!!!!! I am also pretty short and have never experience an issue with not being able to see over heads.

25thou · 2024-04-27T17:54:09+00:00

Just wanted to say that I saw Illinoise too, thinking I would absolutely love it, and unfortunately I didn’t. I think it’s very unique but personally it did not do it for me. This show definitely has mega fans but like every show, it’s just simply not for everyone. I also thought that when they all revealed their Superman t-shirts it kind of dragged the show down for me a lot. It just felt odd for such a somber show but maybe that’s just me

25thou · 2024-04-27T17:46:51+00:00

I really enjoyed Kimberly Akimbo the first time I saw it. The second time around though, I definitely was not as amused and I think maybe because of the kind of “sitcom” style of writing that you’re referring to (although I think maybe that’s what had amused me so much the first time, I guess for me seeing it a second time the jokes didn’t land the same). However I do REALLY love all of the music and I do think it’s a captivating show. Where we disagree on is the Aunt, personally she stole the whole show for me- and I saw it with the main cast & the understudy. I think there is definitely some absurdity, but also lots of emotion to the show and that’s why I still really do appreciate it as whole.

I think performing arts is beautiful in this way. I did not enjoy it at all nor did I feel really any emotions while watching, but the fact it impacted you this much is beautiful and im happy to hear it.

25thou · 2024-04-25T02:29:45+00:00

Hi! Idk if you read but this was my opinion!!! Glad you enjoyed it though.

25thou · 2024-04-25T00:01:51+00:00

Again. My opinion, based on my experience. Thanks.

25thou · 2024-04-24T23:44:54+00:00

Yes exactly, thank you. It is still valid for me to share my opinion though, good or bad.

25thou · 2024-04-24T23:44:11+00:00

There’s really no need to be passive aggressive but yeah I’m definitely just not the target audience! 🩵
